Laboratory Automation Systems Market Analysis

The Total Lab Automation Market size is estimated at USD 6.65 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 9.26 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.82% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

Technological advancements and increasing pressure to deliver results have led to the use of automated systems in laboratories, driving the market. The adoption rate of automated systems has been growing due to their accuracy, advanced data management capacity, reduced repetitiveness, and reduced human intervention.

  • Laboratory automation contains computerized lab instruments and gadgets, which give many advantages, such as expanded profitability, enhanced work process scope, reduced time cycle, and improved information quality. Lab automation is vital to handle large volumes of sample tests in less time.
  • For instance, automated liquid handlers are widely adopted in lab automation since they drastically reduce the time for processing and minimize the scope for sample contamination by dispensing dead volumes very efficiently. Liquid handlers work on software using an integrated system, which customizes handling procedures with large transfer volumes.
  • With users expecting an immersive experience integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT), industries are now more dependent on automation than ever before. The Internet of Things (IoT) explosion enabled everything to be connected wirelessly, including heating, badging, lighting, sample collection and testing, and security cameras. Robots are restocking shelves in the medical sector; in hospitals, lifesaving medical equipment is connected, whereas manufacturing connects heavy machinery. These applications will drive the studied market in the future.
  • Furthermore, in November 2021, Automata announced the launch of Automata Labs, an accessible, worry-free laboratory workflow automation solution to empower life science labs to innovate and upscale at pace. It transforms labs of all shapes and sizes by providing scientists with accessible, flexible, and end-to-end lab automation.
  • Laboratories are facing pressure to produce faster turnaround times while also reducing errors to enhance patient care and therefore are using automation and robotics pervasive in clinical laboratories. The high-end automation in instruments and modular systems offers an array of highly user-friendly features. Most instruments can be integrated with IT to maximize the benefits of laboratory automation, which offers mechanized solutions in each workflow phase in a lab.

Laboratory Automation Systems Industry Overview

The Total Lab Automation Market is moderately consolidated. The major players, such as Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Danaher Corporation, Hudson Robotics Inc., and Becton Dickinson & Co., Synchron Lab Automation, with a significant share in the market, are expanding their customer base across various regions. In addition, many companies are forming strategic and collaborative initiatives with multiple companies to increase their market share and profitability.

In March 2023, Brooks Automation US, LLC announced that it signed and completed an acquisition of Aim Lab Automation Technologies Pty Ltd. to expand solutions within the lab automation segment. This acquisition further expanded Brooks' presence beyond drug discovery into the clinical diagnostics market. Moreover, Aim Lab, in conjunction with PreciseFlex, will provide its customers with a broader set of capabilities, an expanded global presence, and the opportunity for enhanced collaboration with its customers.

In February 2023, Automata announced its expansion into the US to accelerate scientific and health outcomes by making automation a reality for every lab. Automata enters this market at an exciting and critical time, as the US is considered the global leader in Life Sciences, with more than a third of all life sciences companies headquartered in the country. The Company's technology is expected to provide the US with a significant cut in workflow times by up to 50 percent, increase output, maximize existing lab space, and free up scientists to work on innovative research.
